This aquarium is located in the mall. So after visiting the aquarium, we went shopping. Very convenient. Aquarium itself is well designed and interactive. Both adults and kids can enjoy time here. We enjoyed the mermaid show although it was little corny.

It's very easy to use. Just go up to the second floor to exchange your ticket. Once you've exchanged your ticket, you'll receive a wristband and can then take the elevator up. There's a short introductory video to watch before you see the actual site. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful!

I had a very nice massage. Convenient redemption. You get free drinks, pastries and Matcha ice cream afterwards too! You can book your preferred timeslots via Whatsapp, 3 hours in advance but usually if they’re not too full it should be fine

The newly renovated museum is great! Although the ticket conversion process from Klook is quite confusing, as they were asking for a QR code. Ended up having to message the museum manually and ask the security to assist.

I visited Taman Safari with my family. The pickup time from downtown Jakarta was at 7:30 AM, and we departed right on time. Our guide was Shoimul Anwar. He was pleasant and kind. We received carrots for free, and bananas and watermelon were purchased separately. It took about two hours to get to the safari, and we immediately started the car safari. We fed the animals as we went, and it was a very enjoyable experience. Following our guide's instructions, we watched the elephant show, dolphin show, and pandas. It was too big of a place to see everything in one day. Thanks to our guide, we were able to finish the itinerary happily. Highly recommend!

Museum MACAN is one of the best modern and contemporary art museums in Jakarta that I think is a must-visit, even for people who aren't art lovers. Its location is in the Kebon Jeruk area and it's quite easily accessible by public transportation or online ride. As soon as you enter, the ambiance immediately feels calm, clean, and a very well-curated experience.

we had a really great time with our Kawah Puti Tour. Tika, our guide, was very efficient. She speaks really good English and it helps people like us from the Philippines who cannot speak Indonesia native language. She was also very patient with us especially in taking pictures.

Our tour guide Aisyah was really patient and made the trip stress free and seamless. The tour was able to accommodate my elderly grandmother (some stairs involved!) and Aisyah and our driver both looked out for everyone in the group. The train and minibus were very comfortable and clean as well. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun day out of Jakarta!

Faunaland Ancol is definitely worth visiting, especially for families. What makes it special is the chance to interact directly with animals—even some rare ones that you usually can’t get close to. They also offer animal feeding and a cruise experience for an additional fee, which adds to the fun. Don’t miss the bird shows at 11 AM and 4 PM—they’re entertaining and well-organized. The staff were incredibly kind and even helped us take photos, which made the experience more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
